Remap only ups it by about 12bhp or something like that, a heavy foot for Mr Imran will be more than enough to make him happy and sort out the granny probem

Ok, I am a bit of a granny driver, everyone says it including the missus. I normally change from 1st to 2nd when it hits 2k revs, then 2nd to 3rd when it hits 3k revs, wait till it hits 4k revs then 4th gear. On the motorway I was in 5th gear doing 80 at roughly 4k revs (give or take a bit), braked...

To be fair, i dont really find the Passat 1.8 non turbo to be bad at all... I dont have any problems with it picking up speed or anything......... Not that i know of anyway!!

Well, its wasnt fun getting my son into the back of my Mk2 Golf GTI (with all the toys of course) plus i work with the NHS Directors and turning up in the Golf, got me a few nastey looks (Which im not too bothered about) and just thought i would treat myself to a newer car and also get a sensible mo...

Phew i wasnt being stupid!!

its a metal lever that moves up and down...its quite easy to see from the back...i found the easiest way was to take the headlights out and do it as was a bit fiddley and didnt want to be moved!! Havnt got any pics, but will see if i can get some later...

Might sound stupid or might be missing the point completely, but i had the same problem, and i have a little lever next to the bulb holder inside the headlight, switch and done!!

Tell me to shut up if you already done this or i missed something!!

looking good young man!! 8)

Make sure the boot rubber seal is seated correctly, after removing mine and refitting the boot would shut properly, until iwent round again and made sure it was seated correctly, and no it wasnt!! no have no problems!

If boot speed is an issue check this out: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/136631 Its new on the market at £189 but importantly it uses solid state memory, which means it takes only 15 seconds to boot up. Plus no amount of pot holes and bumps are going to upset it. They are awesome little laptops... ...
